Tues. Nov. 19, 2024 – “the problem is, they’re ALL crazy…”

Cool, wet, and maybe clearing later. Or not. We started warm and muggy, ended cool and wet. Localized light showers with occasional high wind throughout the day. Not the worst of days, not the best. And that’s where I’m starting today.

Did my volunteer stuff at school. Pretty much wrapped on this project but there’s a lot to do over the next couple of months. Shouldn’t be too hard to fit it in. I’m making a list and when I get some time, I’ll sneak in for a couple of hours and knock stuff out.

Time, time, ask me for anything but time…

Spent the rest of the day doing stuff around the house, starting with cleaning up the recording of the school’s show. It sounds pretty good, considering the source. There are some lovely voices in that middle school. I really like the music and book for the musical they did too. I’m singing at my desk.

Today should be an attempt to get some auction stuff out of the house, or ready to leave. I’m going to talk to another auctioneer about taking some consignments. I can’t have stuff just sitting here. The close auctioneers aren’t getting great prices though, so I have to go a bit farther afield. We’ll see how that turns out.

I’ve also got to do some pickups today. More stuff for the house and the BOL. I hope the rain holds off.

It occurred to me that I have to get some radio gear installed into my vehicles too. The handhelds cover me for the license plates, I think, but permanently installed radios would be better. I just have to FIND the ones I thought I put aside for the trucks. I’m pretty sure they are in a bin here in my office. I haven’t had time to dig them out though…

That’s kind of a recurring refrain, isn’t it. Easier to stack than to USE the stacks. Shouldn’t stop you from stacking though.

    Looking at the national weather map last night. Low is pumping large amounts of rain into upper midwest just in time for cold weather to lock it into the ground for next spring. 

    West coast looking down the barrel at a bomb cyclone delivered by an atmospheric river. 

    The sheer amounts of water are staggering

    Had to grind some beans this am, and my grinder is kinda broken.   I dropped it and somehow messed up the safety interlock that keeps you from running it without the lid.  I can turn the lid around and depress the switch with a screwdriver, so that is what I’m doing for now.  Somehow the connecting rod got to be 1/8 inch short.   Maybe the switch moved?   Haven’t looked at that.   I’ve got backup, but would prefer to fix this one.

    Looks like a clear morning.  Didn’t see the thermometer yet.

    Time to get some kids moving.
